Amateur virologist/epidemiologist/immunologist as well?

This statement is a non sequitur. The anecdote about the neighbor's son killing his own mother during a communist regime has no logical connection to the COVID-19 pandemic or the claim that it was a "scam."

Also, you imply a conspiracy theory that is not supported by evidence. The COVID-19 pandemic is a well-documented global health crisis that has been extensively researched and studied by scientists, healthcare professionals, and experts from around the world.

The claim that the pandemic was a "scam" is a baseless assertion that ignores overwhelming evidence of the virus's existence, its transmission, and its impact on human health.

This vain attempt to link the COVID-19 pandemic to communist regimes or other unrelated events is typical of the conspiracy theorist's tendency to create false narratives and connections. It's a red herring that distracts from the actual issues and evidence, and it's not a credible or logical argument.
